A vibrant, loving tribute to the good that dogs do-especially everyday heroes like Coco, who comfort humans experiencing hardship, trauma, and loss.

Coco is a dog who can cuddle. He's not like Luna, who lives with cheetahs at the zoo, or super sniffer Lucky or Jax the lifeguard dog. From cattle dogs to four-footed movie stars, there is no end to canine achievement. But Coco, in his special vest, is no less exceptional: he can bring comfort to a person with a fearful, lonely, or hurting heart. His cuddling makes others feel stronger and less alone. From a beloved picture book author and a gifted illustrator, this irresistible tribute to the therapeutic genius of dogs brims with warmth and humor. With art that captures the energy of accomplished canines at work and at play (often at the same time), this joyful roundup of talented pooches-punctuated every couple of pages by a cuddle with Coco-will send you straight to the couch for a snuggle with someone special.
